Indie Music Spotlight – Top Singer/Songwriter Picks

Ryan David Orr – Traffic Lights

For almost two decades, Ryan David Orr has been a major player on the American folk scene. A singer-songwriter and experienced musician, he has traveled all over the United States playing in many of folk music’s legendary venues. For Ryan, performing and writing is a family tradition. His grandmother played sax and clarinet and his mother was a professional folk singer. Growing up in Ashland, Oregon, Ryan traveled with his mother to venues and festivals up and down the west coast. So, it was only natural when Ryan started to join his mom on stage, playing the violin by age seven and learning the guitar at 12.

Ryan’s forthcoming album kopascetic will be available June 13th via digital and CD. Discover more of his music here.
